How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 202

The moment Elodie saw Jarrod, she slipped her phone away, her eyes placid. "It's nothing," she said quietly.

Without another word, she brushed past him and walked away, her response strictly polite-no more, no less.

Jarrod watched her retreat, an unreadable emotion flickering in his eyes.

Not far off, Alexander and Mr. Patrick were wrapping up their conversation.

Elodie offered no further comment. At this point, to keep refusing would only make her look ungrateful. In this business, if you want to last, you need to play your cards right with everyone.

Elodie scanned the performance analyses for both companies. Finally, she spoke, matter-of-fact, "Let's go with Nexus Analytics. Our project has high technical requirements—we need to minimize production risks."

She made the call without hesitation. Elodie always separated business from personal matters; right now, Nexus Analytics was the clear choice for Eldermere.
